"Fighter in the Wind" is about a legendary Korean man who fought 47 bulls and defeated numerous karate experts in Japan. The plot is based largely on a famous cartoon series by Bang Hak-ki,featuring Choi Bae-dal (1922-1994), a real life figure who moved to Japan during the colonial period and established himself as a much-admired karate fighter by founding a new version of the martial arts form called "Kyokushin Karate."
